Continuing on its 2015 Colour Adventure, China Glaze® explores the vast tones and textures of the wilderness. These 12 new nature-inspired shades inspire you to ground yourself, even if for just a moment, and appreciate the treasures of the great outdoors that shimmer, sparkle and wow.

Unplug and reconnect with nature with The Great Outdoors shades from left to right in the photo:

 Pondering: Deep amethyst duo chrome

 Wood You Wanna?: Rich brown burgundy metallic

I was sent this entire fabulous collection to review for my honest opinion! It is so gorgeous! I swatched all of the colors with two coats and no top coat. Here are my swatches:

S’more Fun

My Lodge or Yours?

Cabin Fever

S’more Fun is very bright! I usually don’t wear bright colors but it’s really fun! My Lodge or Yours? is gorgeous! The perfect pinky nude for fall. I love duo chromes and Cabin Fever is a subtle one. The orange is very autumnal.

Let’s Dew It

Check Out The Silver Fox

Sleeping Under the Stars

Let’s Dew it is such a pretty glitter top coat. It has blue, silver and a purple cast to it. Love! Gone Glamping changes colors in the light from green to gold. Sleeping under the Stars is the most interesting of the bunch. It is an extremely dark blue, but it has tiny bits of glitter in it. So cool!

Take a Hike

Check Out The Silver Fox

Free Bear Hugs

My Take a Hike swatch isn’t the best, but besides my lack of polish skills, you can still tell that it’s a rich color. Two coats completely covers. Check Out the Silver Fox is a bit darker in person, my swatch caught the sunlight and looks a bit lighter in the photo. It will be a fun metallic for celebrations in the fall through the holidays. Free bear hugs is one of my favorites, I love a dark red!

Change Your Altitude

Pondering

Wood You Wanna?

Change Your Altitude is a creamy gray, a really nice fall neutral. For a gorgeous, deep duo chrome, Pondering is a lovely blue. And Would you Wanna? is deep, shimmery brown.

All of these shades make me so excited for fall! I love the richer nail colors and will be sporting them soon!

Scary Nails For Halloween — China Glaze Apocalypse of Colour Collection

Run for your life this Halloween as China Glaze unleashes the Apocalypse of Colour. Design an immortal manicure fit for the undead with this mix of scary shimmers, ghoulish glitters and terrifying top coats. Create a spine-chilling look with the six-piece limited edition collection, all the way down to your fingertips and toes.

The horrifying hues in the Apocalypse of Colour collection include:

Getting to Gnaw You: Dark black polish with hints of orange glitter. I used two coats and it was very thick. Has a texture to it, not a smooth glitter.

• Rest in Pieces: Festive fall glitter combination of copper, gold and black. I put at few coats on this to show the glitter particles, but you only need one or two over another color for a fun look. Maybe an orange or a tan would look great under this.

• I Love Your Guts: Blood red with specks of black. I used two coats of this. It has a nice sandy texture and looks great on.

• Don’t Let the Dead Bite: Nude base with sporadic red glitter pieces to look like blood splatter across your fingertips. I used two coats. I think this would look great over an opaque nude or white polish.

• But Of Corpse: Gruesome green with specks of black. Two coats. This texture was the same as I Love Your Guts.

• Ghoulish Glow: Glow-in-the-dark top coat. This is with two coats, it looks clear in the day. I tried to take a photo in the dark, but my phone wouldn’t take a good one. It does glow! I would wear it over another polish for a fun evening out.

What I think: This is a fun collection for Halloween and for fall in general! Definitely dramatic.

China Glaze is free of DBP, toluene, and added formaldehyde.

China Glaze Apocalypse of Colour is available now as individual bottles and special 6-piece and 3-piece gift sets at fine salons and beauty supply stores including Sally Beauty and Ulta.

China Glaze Crinkled Chrome Collection

From pale pink to mint green, once only Easter-appropriate pastels are having a major moment this winter, adding a feminine flair to the season. Next month wintery pastel meets high-shine chrome in the NEW China Glaze Crinkled Chrome collection.

Featuring a new technology, China Glaze Crinkled Chrome lacquers apply like a regular polish, crinkling as it dries for an edgy, chrome-like finish. The six new gorgeous pastels have the sophisticated, polished appeal of the season, but add a contemporary edge and sense of novelty to winter nails.

China Glaze Crinkled Chrome will be available in January at beauty supply stores nationwide including Sally Beauty Supply and Ulta. Individual shades will retail for $7.50 MSRP.

The shades are:

Aluminate — cool silver

Crush, Crush Baby — powdered purple

Don’t Be Foiled — soft teal

I’m a Chromatic — baby pink

Iron Out the Details — — icy blue

Wrinkling the Sheets — light powder green

I have been testing three of the shades. The teal, green and blue. I swatched them, but they look so similar in the photos but very different on. So I chose to show Don’t be Foiled:

This gorgeous teal is the first one I put on. Love it!

These are so fun to use. They go on smooth and crinkle right up. Fun!

Are you going to pick up one of these polishes? Which shade?
